Moana
On its own, Moana is a damn great time. As the latest in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ absurd hot streak, it’s more than a little disappointing.
Trolls
Although not without its charms, Trolls is by far DreamWorks Animation’s worst film in at least half a decade.
Big Hero 6

This year, DreamWorks Animation celebrates its 20th anniversary. To mark the occasion, Callum Petch is going through their entire animated canon, one film a week for the next 30 weeks, and giving them a full-on retrospective treatment. Prior entries can be found here, should you desire.
Maleficent
Maleficent is both far better than it sounds and nowhere near as good as it promises to be.
US Box Office Report: 21/02/14 – 23/02/14
The Lego Movie spends 3 days killing 3 Days To Kill, Pompeii fails to erupt, The Wind Rises magnificently, the author is dreadful at getting weekly articles out on time, and Other Box Office News.

The 2014 BAFTA Nominees Rundown
Callum Petch guides you through the BAFTA nominees ahead of Sunday’s ceremony in his own, very easily imitable style.
